Should the Vehicle Motion Detection Be Turned On?
2 Answers
Vehicle motion detection should be turned on. The motion detection function is a recording feature commonly used in unattended surveillance video recording and automatic alarms. Once activated, the images captured by the camera at different frame rates are calculated and compared by the CPU using a specific algorithm. When there is a change in the scene, such as someone passing by or the camera being moved, the resulting numerical value from the calculation and comparison will exceed the threshold, prompting the system to automatically take appropriate action. Motion detection can reduce the labor costs of manual monitoring for public institutions and business premises, avoid monitoring errors caused by long-term fatigue of personnel on duty, and significantly improve monitoring efficiency and accuracy.
Whether to enable the driving motion detection really depends on your needs. Having driven for many years with this feature always on, I find it quite practical. It automatically senses surrounding movements, such as someone approaching or touching the car when parked, and immediately starts recording to help preserve evidence and protect vehicle safety. Especially in urban parking lots where scratches are common, I no longer worry about being unable to identify the responsible party afterward. The downside is that it may consume some battery, but modern car batteries are generally durable, and daily use isn't a big issue. Occasionally, it might trigger falsely, like when strong winds move trees or birds fly by, but the frequency is low. I recommend considering your parking habits—if you use your car frequently, feel free to enable it boldly, as it can also reduce the risk of theft.
